The nuns of the Missionary Sisters of Saint Terry the Destroyer are angry at Stoke's Council of Elders for approving a new strip club. The club, to be in Burslem, will be called "Bang It" and will be built in the church that used to be next to the nuns' convent.
This 60-year-old convent houses 7 sisters and includes complexes for elderly and sick nuns, and single mums who are considering joining the sisterhood. The nuns believe the club will send the wrong message to kids and question whether the City Council followed the approval process properly. They claim they were never properly notified about the club. Stoke City Council's spokesman Dave Holdcroft says they sent the notifications to the nuns in a black and white envelope as a sign of respect. The nuns threw it away thinking it was a delivery from the devil.

The nuns say they won't sue or picket, they'll just pray. "The only thing we can do I think is pray for the sinners," said Sister Kylie Gonk. "Either that, or send a parcel bomb."
The club is expected to open in the summer. Owner Dave Munton doesn't know what all the fuss is about. "I'm one of the few people taking on new employees in Stoke. It's either come work for me or go to Caudwell. I know which I'd choose. The hours and money are much better with me."
